Activity as writer

He debuted as a poet in 1986 with the collection of poems Guitar Globe. The editor described, at the publishing, Schramm poetry this way: "The poems have a rare power of expression. They are bricked up by the dense visual lines that form intricate patterns, playful and empowering at the same time. The influence of French and Latin American surrealism is clear".

In addition, he has written newspaper articles, reviews of art exhibitions [4] and has performed readings of his own poems in different contexts.
